Hydraulic mount, how to take apart for repair

Smarten_up · Sep 19, 2022

I have this swivel hydraulic outlet that I can't figure out how to take apart for cleaning and repair.
I know there are circ clips, but what is the proper technique? Anyone please.
I want to re-use them if possible but they are full of dirt, rust and spider webs etc.

They look to be break away outlets. If your implement becomes unhooked from the tractor, they unhook the hoses instead of the tractor breaking the hoses before you can stop.

They appear to be swaged or crimped. Could you soak them in a container of cleaning solution and then blow them out with compressed air while the QD is in the open position? Then replace the o-ring and re install.

Just use a couple cans of brake parts cleaner or ether and spray into them to wash them out both fron and back and go to work. No need to dismantle them.

I ain't never seen nothing like that before in my life...

If you've found circlips, remove them and see what goes "SPROING!"

It does not appear that the balls can be removed from the outer housing.

Ditto. I might add,wouldn't hurt to replace the O rings too.

Remove snap ring holding coupler body into ''ball'', extract the coupler body, then twiddle the ball ''sideways'' just right so the ''notches'' in the ball meet the edge of the hole it's in just right and the ball will pop out.
